2013 minizine Project April

This is a minizine series for 2013, and it is time for April Showers. You are welcome to join this swap even if you haven't participated in January or February or March. You can participate in one month or all 12 months and sign up for the months you want to play.

Everyone will use the same template for the month and personalize it with their own art. You can draw, doodle, write, collage and add color. Add whatever you want, as long as you put effort into it and create art that you are proud to send. Make it something that you would want to receive. No, you do not have to make it about the theme, and can create your own art on whatever you feel inspired to make with the template. It is fun to start at the same starting point and then see how people can take it in such varying directions.

You can see the template at the website http://minizines.blogspot.com but I will mail out the template in both US size and A4 to all the participants as soon as signup is closed (or anytime before if you pm me).

Print it out and start to decorate it. When your original is ready, go make at least 5 copies of your little work of art. These can be black & white or color. Your choice.

Here is a tutorial for folding your minizine into a 1/8 size booklet. http://bookmaking.wonderhowto.com/how-to/make-mini-zine-272750/

You will mail one minizine to each of your 5 partners. These should easily fit in a regular size envelope, making it okay to send internationally.

I will check ratings and have set 4.9 as the lowest allowed rating for this swap.

Make something fun to swap and Enjoy!
